Review on Buoyant Osprey Duplex Women's Backpack by Tutan Hesch

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible design! Best in Outdoor Recreation

This backpack was beyond disappointing. I expected to like this backpack before I received it. The design is so poorly executed I can't believe it. I put items in both a backpack and a large backpack and it's impossible to put them together. As you will see in the photos, when you snap one side, the other side does not reach the clips. Most of the packaging has a very odd wire running around the lower back which is awful. The design is so bad that I immediately sent it back. As you can see in one of the pictures, the large backpack's zippered mesh compartment has a bottom zipper instead of a top, so every time you want to unzip to get something, everything falls out. This whole bag design is so fake I can't even figure it out. Also, if you even have 2 backpacks attached (which is unlikely), your backpack will be sticking out 3 feet from your back, throwing it completely off balance. Osprey needs to develop a functional backpack similar to the Fairview 55 and 70, with a larger, durable backpack that is wider and more durable to fit all your electronics including cameras, laptops, documents, headphones and all essential items. Large backpack with two front clips. In comparison, the backpack currently attached to the Fairview is ridiculously small and doesn't fit all your essential items securely. I haven't found a suitable backpack in eight weeks of searching. I'm willing to develop it myself as I can't find it anywhere! This backpack really is a nightmare. I would not recommend that. osprey. If you ever see this I would recommend designing a backpack similar to the Porter 46 (with padded sides) but making it in 55 and 70 liter versions with a sturdy large backpack that can be strapped on. front, the size of an Ozone daypack. Make all zips on both components lockable. Do not make mesh pockets with zippers in the appropriate places and not one huge pocket, but split in two on the mesh pockets. Install an anti-gravity mesh on the back (similar to the Ariel model) for comfort and good ventilation. If only you could make this model a reality, I'm sure everyone would love it! I have many more ideas so contact me if you need advice in the design department!
